PlayFast introduces a Pace Index, a portable, data driven measure of how a golfer typically moves through a course. Built from real round data and normalized for context, it complements scoring handicaps by describing how golf is played, not just how it is scored.
Pace insights derived from real round outcomes and normalized expectations, not assumptions or anecdotal feedback.
Pace behavior is evaluated across multiple rounds and contexts. No single round defines a golfer, and outliers are intentionally de-emphasized.
Useful for individual clubs today, with a clear path to municipal and multi-course operators.
A neutral pace intelligence layer that models historical round data to derive a consistent Pace Index. The index is portable across courses and events, while remaining grounded in course specific context.
Not a scoring system, not a disciplinary tool, not a public ranking of golfers, and not an enforcement authority.
Across thousands of rounds, pace of play varies widely at every skill level. Handicap alone is not a reliable predictor of how long a round will take.
Just as a Handicap Index represents scoring ability across different courses, the PlayFast Pace Index represents playing efficiency across different conditions. The two measure different skills and are designed to coexist.
Understand and improve personal pace behavior over time, without public labels, rankings, or judgment.
Educate members and evaluate formats using objective, repeatable pace data across events and seasons.
Improve flow, fairness, and communication across the tee sheet using real round outcomes.
PlayFast evaluates pace behavior over time, not isolated moments or single rounds. Individual identity is not publicly exposed by the platform. Insights are derived from aggregated round data and are used to understand patterns, not to single out players.
Clubs and course operators retain full ownership of identity, enforcement, and policy decisions. PlayFast provides normalized pace signals and derived indices that can be used according to local policies and consent models.
PlayFast is live in a club environment and expanding thoughtfully. We work with clubs, courses, and governing organizations interested in understanding pace as a portable, data-driven skill and applying it responsibly.
